With only 4 starters coming back for Michigan the Wolverines offense will be questionable at best. The defense for Michigan is bringing back 7 starters and that could definitely help the team. However, one thing that is key for Michigan is that if the Wolverines do not beat Ohio State then the season will not really matter to the die hard fans.

Last year the Wolverines offense put in a total of 32 points a game. With 151 rushing on the year and 261 in the air. The defense for Michigan has given up 21 points a game. The passing defense allowed 186 yards a game and gave up 122 yards a game on the ground so far.

Minnesota is one team that could be sitting nicely on the year. The Golden Gophers ended up bringing back 8 starters on the offensive side of the ball. The defense for the Minnesota team is bringing back a total of 5 starters on the defense, which will definitely help the Golden Gophers in this game here.

Offensively the Golden Gophers ended up with a total of 34 points per game. The offense for Minnesota was able to get 179 yards a game on the ground and 253 yards a game in the air. The defense for Minnesota allowed 23 points a game. The Golden Gophers defense gave up 122 yards per game on the ground and allowed 184 yards per game in the air.

The game here will be a battle but with Minnesota returning so many starters on the offensive side of the ball it will be difficult to see Michigan with a young defense really coming into the game and stopping the offense for Minnesota. The offense for Michigan will be a mess as well as the quarterback has to be replaced and that is a big transition. Final Score Prediction, Minnesota Golden Gophers win and cover ATS 34-21.
